3/10 Rathdowne Street, Brunswick East, Vic 3057

One of only four, enjoying a cul-de-sac setting on the very edge of Carlton North, this inviting townhouse puts parkland, bike paths and Lygon Street trams within moments' walk. Polished parquetry, generous proportions and northern light that flows across a paved courtyard complement living/dining spaces accompanied by an open-plan kitchen where stone benches, stainless steel Smeg appliances and stylish cabinetry convey modern excellence. Two double bedrooms each with built in robes and views towards the city over the streetscape, define desirable upstairs spaces and share an impeccably maintained bathroom enhanced by a second toilet and convenient separate laundry. Above, a substantial loft delivers a third bedroom option in addition to providing a superb retreat or home office zone that's kept beautifully bright by a Velux sky window. Reverse cycle heating/cooling accompanies every room of this exceptional residence, with great under-stairs storage and a secure allocated garage.
